Should social media be regulated?

Sadly I think sooner or later facebook will fully bend the knee.

Yeah, with great advertising revenue comes great responsibility and the last bastion (apart from youtube) of bile and repelling algorithns will be gone... Thank God!

This is what triggered him:

"Facebook’s move to ban American advertisers from using its tools for housing and employment discrimination, and the company’s belated decision to ban explicit support for white nationalism." -Snip

Yeah Rob, I don't think this helped!

Remember, a private business can do whatever** it wants, even open discrimination, as the free-market will sort it all out.

**Unless that business does something they don't agree with, like banning Nazis

That's the problem: the very notion anything triggered me was a lie.

So sorry this happened 🙂

Yikes. He's gonna agree with you either way, maybe tone down the desperation bro.

@surt It's literally what you** said when the homophobic baker was being a bigot against gay people, 'it's a business and he can do whatever he likes, even open discrimination, the freemarket will sort it out' and we all went "you know what, okay then, lets go with those rules."

**You actually didn't come up with it, you shitposted and waited until Emperordmb gave you your opinion on the subject and then you cosigned it. But cosigning something is agreeing with it

^ Didn't have a proper response to the facts presented, so dodged the points but had to reply regardless.

At this point it's not worth it, look at you two clowns lol.

There is no room for rational discourse left.

Did you not argue for the merits that a business should be able to do whatever it wants?

As long as it was honest about its practices and bias.

Facebook isn't.

At this point I think it's for the best, though who knows their response to my last post might surprise me.

If not, meh. Clowns can hold their circus together.
